Minute by minute
February 5, 2008 10:01 pmAM came into the den just as I was settling down to the beginning of Super Tuesday results.
“Can we watch American Idol?”
I love my wife. Really. And given the stress of her every day, she needs that mindless enjoyment that she gets from watching American Idol.
Still…I hesitated.
Super Tuesday.
Huda and I have been trying not to watch. We had long phone conversations worrying over the one percent or less of votes that had come in for each state, instantly flipping that state firmly into one candidate or another’s column. The past few hours have been hard. The phrase “If Hillary wins, I don’t know what I’m going to do” came up multiple times.
The picture isn’t exactly rosy right now, and the big boys haven’t weighed in yet, but still…Hope Survives.
“In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.” - Barack Obama

She won Cali… still waiting to see by how much.
Missouri’s coming down to every last vote, though.
You should Google Obama’s speech tonight. It was pretty awesome…
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
For the sake of all the “young” voters who voted for Obama - I truly hope he wins - my “future” is behind me and now it is your turn to determine what is right for your generation! Best of all is the huge turn out in NJ and elswhere - people are exercizing their right to vote and that is wonderful - particulraly after the apathy of past elections.
